The Grand
A comedy about the fine art of losing.
Directed by Zak Penn
Produced by Insomnia Media Group, IMG Film 7
A playful mockumentary ensemble comedy that mines humor from the absurdities and desperation of competitive poker players through improvisation and character-driven satire.
The Grand is in the tradition of improvisational comedies like Best In Show and This Is Spinal Tap. The story is set in the world of professional poker and follows six players who reach the final table of the world’s second most famous high stakes tournament, the Grand Championship of Poker.
